Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Wrongful Termination

Accident victims often face property damage, personal physical injury, costly ongoing therapies, and dramatic changes in the ways they live and work. Marcum has extensive experience assisting counsel and their clients in evaluating and calculating damages in complex commercial and personal injury litigation. We have developed proven methodologies and economic models for purposes of quantifying damages.

Employees sometimes allege they have been inappropriately terminated due to discrimination (for issues ranging from age, race,
religion, sexual orientation, nationality, or gender) or retaliation for being a whistleblower or unwilling to commit an
illegal act.

Because of our extensive experience in this area, we are cognizant that the amount of recoverable damages, as opposed to alleged damages, is determinative of the outcome of litigation. Consequently, our professionals are familiar with causation issues and work closely with counsel to ensure that our damages calculations are performed in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and case law in the particular jurisdiction in which the matter is being litigated.

Our Litigation support practice provides services to counsel for plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of areas, including consulting with clients and counsel on all phases of litigation from discovery through trial, providing oral and written testimony as opinion, rebuttal, and/or fact witnesses, conducting interviews and fraud investigations as well as serving as independent arbitrators. Our professionals have experience providing valuable insights and credible testimony in litigation, alternative dispute resolution and investigations.
